Brief Summary of Unit

In this Unit, the understanding is why fitness is important in overall health, but also to understand the four main factors of fitness activity (body composition, muscular strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular training). These four factors are important to teach because they help to foster lifelong habits and to present ways of exercise that may have not yet been considered. Training and meal plans will be created for different types of people such as, athletes, everyday students, adults, children, etc. Making sense of the four factors and being able to describe their meanings, as well as showing what a healthy lifestyle could look like will be carried out through many activities such as, making iMovies and blogs.
